To me, the primary purpose of a for-

the U.S. companies have a legal, fiduciary responsibility to do just
that. That is a central tenant of capitalism. There are other forms of
economic policies in other countries that make employment a core
mission of companies. In fact employment for the workers of a country
is a central tenant of communism as well as a core tenant of more left
leaning socialist countries ("Worker's Party", "People's Republic",
etc).
To say one type of economy is better than another is largely
philosophical issue. However, I would argue that employees in
capitalist countries fair far better than those in communist and
restricted socialist countries.

No argument with the for-profit agenda. "Largely" as philosophical issue"is
philosophy vs real economy or the latter as defined as how much wealth is
spread, or not spread. Enter the philosophy.
